Evidence of globalisation increasing

Some evidence to globalisation can be seen on the internet. This can be seen with the amount of users on the internet. More and more people each year a connecting to the internet.
In december 1995   0.4% of people were connected to the internet of the worlds population. This is not much but this was when the internet only started.
By february 2004 11.5% of people were now connected, a huge rise from before in the 9 year gap
In march 2013 38.8% of the words population were connected to the internet. The growth has been huge and is great evidence to provide when looking at the idea of globalisation increasing. The evidence is that the internet as a whole is growing due to the amount of people using it.International Companies need inteenet to work now and this has meant that more countries have been connecting and having good I.T infrastructure to attract these. The internet then also means that it will be avaliable to an amount of people in the surrounding area. When others hear about this, they may want it also and the government may be pressured into building the coverage. This can be seen as globalisation due to the effect it creates.


The direction of this is only going one way,up. The internet will spread faster and arrive to more people over the next 20years. Mobile phones are now used all over the world and the same will happen with the internet. It will touch all corners of the globe. To create equality the internet will spread more as it allows education and information to be seen with a few clicks of a mouse. It will make people more aware of current events and open up new opinions not only seen on the TV.
